Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cardinals kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

Some picks age like wine; Kyle McCord at slot 78 will need to, sitting 44 spots clear of his grade.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. Harmon at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Grey Zabel
In the 16th overall pick they get a cornerstone up front, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick47 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Derrick Harmon in Round 2, Pick 15, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick78 Rnd3 Kyle McCord
They left a pile of value on the table to take Kyle McCord this early at slot 78. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick113 Rnd4 Shemar Turner
A conviction pick on Shemar Turner at pick 113 that the board grades a round light. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick151 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Dont'e Thornton Jr. well ahead of where he belonged. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
